Description

This project provides for the design, review, and construction of roads or utility work that benefit new subdivisions and the public-at-large. The project may be used for: land acquisition and construction of connections in primary and secondary residential roadways that cannot be made the responsibility of particular developers; County participation with developers in the construction of arterial and major highways by way of agreements; and completion of defaulted permit work to protect improvements that were completed prior to the default. Subsequent reimbursement will be sought for defaulted work.

Cost Change

Cost change due to partial capitalization of prior year expenditures, partially offset by the addition of FY19 and FY20 to this ongoing project.

Justification

Several subdivisions have been approved based on this project. After a needs assessment has been made through the master plan process, roadways should be constructed as development occurs to ensure adequate public facilities.
